I bought a refurbished Iomega USB CD-R/RW DVD drive and it supports USB 2.0. This computer, did not. So, I bought a USB 2.0 capable PCI card and it works like a champ under both k3b and XCDRoast. With the built-in USB 1.1 ports I had to force the write speed to 4x or I'd get a coaster. Now it does 48x effortlessly. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
